A creation of Julius von Bismarck, a DIYer and artist based in Berlin. The Image Fulgurator, though imposing in appearance, is actually made from a traditional camera, flash control, flash unit, sensor, and other over-the-counter component. In essence, it works like a portable projector. Insert an already exposed film, with images, into the gadget. When the Image Fulgurator’s sensor detects a flash nearby go off, it also fires its own flash. The process superimpose the preset images onto the photos of unsuspecting photographer. The result: a sort of light graffiti on photos.
The Image Fulgurator is a device for physically manipulating photographs. It intervenes when a photo is being taken, without the photographer being able to detect anything. The manipulation is only visible on the photo afterwards.
In principle, the Fulgurator can be used anywhere where there is another camera nearby that is being used with a flash. It operates via a kind of reactive flash projection that enables an image to be projected on an object exactly at the moment when someone else is photographing it. The intervention is unobtrusive because it takes only a few milliseconds. Every photo another photographer takes of an object at which the Fulgurator is also aimed is affected by the manipulation. Hence visual information can be smuggled unnoticed into the images of others.
